Gluten- and Dairy-Free Diets Can Be Game-Changing for Children with Autism.
Gluten and dairy can trigger inflammation, gut permeability, and immune reactions that affect brain function in children with autism. Removing these foods may improve digestion, behaviour, and focus by reducing zonulin, histamine, and folate receptor autoantibodies. A gluten- and dairy-free diet supports the gut-brain axis, calming inflammation and helping children thrive naturally.
